00:00 Yeah, they like stole our souls.
00:03 [laughter]
00:05 Over a year and a half. I didn't know that slowly they were just picking away at my DNA.
00:10 [laughter]
00:12 And that's interesting. But yeah, I mean, yeah, I mean, he had to shave the whole beard and hair off before he came to do the press tour, but it used to be, you know.
00:23 Yeah, it's got another role. Massive, I mean, I had to take massive amounts of steroids.
00:29 While I was doing the part, because I really wanted to be right.
00:33 The weird part is your shoulders are a lot smaller than your chest, though, in that way.
00:37 You think so?
00:38 I think so.
00:39 I'm going to have to work on that.
00:40 Yeah. Yes, we look like so... I was tripped out by how our behavior... I mean, I didn't know you, and then when we met for the first time, it was weird.
00:55 It was like I had seen the movie and saw all the characteristics of the movie and your voice, obviously.
01:00 And then it was like there were things you were doing that were like the character...
01:05 It's weird meeting the character first before you meet the person, right?
01:08 Yeah.

01:15 [laughter]
01:16 I feel like they picked the smallest of expressions that were still uniquely us, and then when you add them up, it really kind of like...
01:24 Yeah.
01:25 It's kind of more startling.
01:26 Deep fake. Deep fake.
01:27 No.
01:28 Yeah.
01:29 There was one where Ethan kind of readjusts and sits in a chair like this, and I'm like, "I know for a fact I never sat in a session."
01:36 So where did they get that from?
01:38 That's so interesting.
01:39 Yeah. I was like... You guys were just like, "Actually, please tell me so I can sleep in it."
01:42 I was like, "Where did you get that?"
01:44 One thing that they will say is that they said that he uses his hands all the time, and I definitely do not use my hands all the time.
01:51 It just doesn't ever happen. I've never used my hands. They're usually right by my side, so I don't know where they got that from.
